Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of canning technology, and more specifically, to a container rinsing mechanism for canning. Background Technology

[0002] Canned food is a type of packaged food that is made of sheet metal, glass, plastic, cardboard, or a combination of these materials and can be sealed to store commercial food. It is processed to achieve commercial sterility and can be kept at room temperature for a relatively long time without spoiling.

[0003] In traditional canning, the containers are conveyed on a conveyor belt with their openings facing upwards. To improve hygiene, the containers need to be rinsed before filling with materials to reduce the amount of impurities falling into them during transport. Traditional canning processes lack this step or rely on manual rinsing, which involves cumbersome and inefficient steps such as removing the container from the conveyor belt, rinsing, emptying, and returning it. Therefore, this invention provides a container rinsing mechanism for canning. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a container rinsing mechanism for canning, which has the advantage of high working efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a container rinsing mechanism for canning, comprising: a conveyor bed;

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example

[0034] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a container rinsing mechanism for canning, including: a conveyor bed 1, a support 2, a rotary motor 3, a first rotating plate 4, a telescopic cylinder 5, a second rotating plate 6, and a spray bar assembly 7. The supports 2 are spaced apart and vertically arranged on one side edge of the conveyor bed 1, with one support 2 extending horizontally to form a support plate. The rotary motor 3 is mounted on the support plate, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 3 is connected to a motor shaft 300. The motor shaft 300 is rotatably mounted on the two supports 2. The first rotating plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft 300. The telescopic cylinder 5 is fixed at both ends of the first rotating plate 4. One side of the second rotating plate 6 is connected to the output shaft of the two telescopic cylinders 5, and the second rotating plate 6 is parallel to the first rotating plate 4. The spray bar assembly 7 is located on the side of the support 2 away from the conveyor bed 1. The container conveyed on the conveyor bed 1 is clamped by the telescopic cylinder 5 after it reaches the space between the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 6. The rotary motor 3 rotates and drives the container to flip over to the top of the spray bar assembly 7, which can rinse the container. The rotary motor 3 controls the container to flip back to its initial position and continue moving on the conveyor bed 1. The container is transported on a conveyor belt. When the container moves between the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 6, the telescopic cylinder 5 is controlled to retract, bringing the second rotating plate 6 closer to the first rotating plate 4, thereby completing the clamping of the container. The rotating motor 3 rotates to electrically flip the container, and the spray bar assembly 7 washes the container. The rotating motor 3 is driven again to flip the container back to its initial position, realizing the washing, emptying, and repositioning of the container, saving manpower, reducing impurities in the container, and thus improving the hygiene level of the canned food.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, two slots 310 are provided on the motor shaft 300. Connecting blocks 400 extend from both ends of one side of the first rotating plate 4. The connecting blocks 400 are detachably mounted in the slots 310. Telescopic cylinders 5 are fixed to both ends of the other side of the first rotating plate 4. The first rotating plate 4 is detachably mounted on the motor shaft 300 via the connecting blocks 400, increasing the adaptability of the device.

[0036] In this embodiment, a rubber pad is provided on the side of the first rotating plate 4 that contacts the canned container, and a rubber pad is also provided on the side of the second rotating plate 6 that contacts the canned container. The rubber pads increase the friction between the container and the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 6, while preventing the container from deforming due to the second rotating plate 6 gradually moving closer to the first rotating plate 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the spray bar assembly 7 includes: an adjusting plate 700, a spray bar 710, and a fixing member 720. The adjusting plate 700 is horizontally and detachably mounted on the support 2. A plurality of first adjusting holes are spaced apart on the adjusting plate 700. Connecting plates extend horizontally from both ends of the spray bar 710, and second adjusting holes are provided on the connecting plates. A plurality of nozzles are provided on the upper surface of the spray bar 710. Pressurized water is connected to the spray bar 710. The fixing member 720 is able to pass through the first and second adjusting holes. Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the spray bar 710 and the support 2 is adjustable, making it more adaptable to containers of different diameters that can be gripped by the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, a drainage trough 8 is provided at the edge of the conveyor bed 1. The drainage trough 8 has a sloping structure inside, and a drain outlet 800 is provided at the lowest point of the drainage trough 8. The spray bar assembly 7 is located above the drainage trough 8. The drainage trough 8 is designed to collect and discharge wastewater after rinsing the container.

[0039] In this embodiment, a limiting mechanism 9 is also included. The limiting mechanism 9 is disposed on the side edge of the conveyor bed 1 away from the support 2. The limiting mechanism 9 includes a base and a limiting cylinder 900. The base is detachably connected to the edge of the conveyor bed 1, and the limiting cylinder 900 is disposed on the base. The output shaft of the limiting cylinder 900 is horizontally connected to a limiting rod 910. When the canned container is conveyed on the conveyor bed 1 and enters between the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 6, the limiting cylinder 900 controls the limiting rod 910 to extend horizontally to intercept the canned container. The limiting mechanism 9 reduces the need to control the conveying speed of the conveyor bed 1. The extension and retraction of the limiting rod 910 serves to intercept and release the container. Controlling the extension and retraction frequency of the limiting cylinder 900 and the conveying speed of the conveyor bed 1 controls the number of containers entering between the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 6.
